Drowned - Coated, Suited, Booted!
-Since 1/3rd of our lives is passed in the dream/sleep state we truly need to reevaluate our attachments in the waking state - this begins with questioning what we believe and understand to be a dream (unreal) versus waking (real)
-We need to reanalyze our Needs vs.Wants - a catalyst to this self study is reflecting on the temporary and changing nature of our wants
-In order to identify our most 'basic' wants, we need to keep on removing our potentially 'excess' wants to the point where our happiness is unaffected (critical point) - the remaining wants are 'necessary' for our happiness at that point
-Why do we call it the pursuit of happiness - the pursuit itself implies/concludes being unhappy
-When Absolutely Happy (Liberated) there is no perception of happiness, there is only BEING which is Happiness - similar to how Existence just IS
-What we determine to be important is based on what is real i.e. casually dismissing the happenings of a dream - if we begin to challenge our assumption of what is real, challenging what is important must follow suit and so our whole life must change
-The mind makes us believe what is real and unreal - without the mind what would happen
-The mind is the creator of time and space and therefore the entire universe is a creation of the mind
-If we start observing ourselves as in a dream we will begin to reassess the value we give to objects, people and situations - at the end of the day then none could cause us sadness
-What proof is there that we are not in a spiritual hallucination where we have come to think we are separate from each other
